Journal Guide

The Astronomy and Astrophysics Review publishes invited reviews by leading experts from around the world. The range of topics covered includes all areas of astronomy and astrophysics; cosmic ray physics; studies in the solar system; astrobiology; developments in laboratory or particle physics directly relevant to astronomy; instrumentation; computational or statistical methods with specific astronomical applications; and other subjects relevant to astronomy and astrophysics.All important fields are reviewed from time to time, with the frequency of review depending on the amount of research activity.
The editors choose articles for both their scientific quality, and for their readability. They thereby provide an excellent starting point for scientists or students seeking access to a new or unfamiliar field as well as for researchers and lecturers in need of authoritative material in fields with which they are less familiar.Commonly used title abbreviations: Astron Astrophys Rev, A&AR, A&ARvAre you a membe

It is expected that the guest editor(s) of the special issue submit a proposal to the Managing Editor who will then send it out to review to the Editorial Board.  The criteria upon which it will be judged are whether the issue addresses contemporary concerns

For more than half a century, The Botanical Review has been a leading international journal noted for its in-depth articles on a broad spectrum of botanical fields. Systematics, phytogeography, cladistics, evolution, physiology, ecology, morphology, paleobotany, and anatomy are but a few of the many subjects that have been covered. The Botanical Review draws together outstanding scientists in the field, synthesizes the current knowledge about a specific subject, and promotes the advancement of botany by indicating the gaps in our knowledge and providing new outlooks on the topic.

Die Wiener klinische Wochenschrift - The Central European Journal of Medicine ist eine internationale, zweisprachige (deutsch - englisch), medizinisch-wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift, die das gesamte Spektrum der klinischen Medizin und medizinisch- gesellschaftliche Bereiche, wie Ethik in der Medizin, Sozialmedizin, Geschichte der Medizin abdeckt. Alle Arbeiten durchlaufen ein Begutachtungsverfahren. Neben Originalarbeiten (die vorwiegend in englischer Sprache erscheinen) werden Editorials und Leitartikel zu aktuellen Themen, Übersichten, Fallberichte und ein breites Spektrum von Sonderthemen publiziert. Experimentelle Arbeiten werden dann veröffentlicht, wenn sie einen direkten klinischen Bezug aufweisen. Die Autorenschaft ist international mit Schwerpunkt im mitteleuropäischen Raum, der Anteil englischsprachiger Publikationen steigt kontinuierlich. Die internationale Anerkennung der Zeitschrift (gemessen am Impact Factor) hat in den letzten Jahren stark zugenommen. Die Wiener klinische Wochenschrift - The

The EMBO Journal provides for rapid publication of full-length papers describing original research of general rather than specialist interest in molecular biology and related areas. The journal encourages and publishes articles that report novel findings of wide biological significance in the areas of development, immunology, neuroscience, plant biology, structural biology, genomic & computational biology, genome stability & dynamics, chromatin & transcription, RNA, proteins, cellular metabolism, signal transduction, cell cycle, differentiation & death, membranes & transport, cell & tissue architecture, microbiology & pathogens and molecular biology of disease.The EMBO Journal has established itself over the last two decades as one of the most influential molecular biology journals. It is highly appreciated by scientists throughout the world. This is reflected not only in the approximately similar submission rates from Europe and non-European countries, but also by the fact that leading scientists throughout the world provide the editors with expert refereeing, ensuring the high quality of articles published in The EMBO Journal. In addition, the editors are supported in the selection of papers by an active Advisory Editorial Board. The EMBO Journal is one of the most highly cited journals, reflected in its latest impact factor of 10.124*.

The Egyptian Heart Journal aims to publish the highest quality material, both clinical and scientific, on all aspects of Cardiovascular Medicine. It includes articles related to research findings, technical evaluations, and reviews. In addition it provides a forum for the exchange of information on all aspects of Cardiovascular Medicine, including educational issues.

The journal is intended to provide a peer-reviewed source for multidisciplinary coverage of general acute and intensive care medicine and its various subcategories including cardiac, pulmonary, neuro, renal as well as post-operative care.

The journal is proud to have an international multi-professional editorial board in the broad field of critical care that will assist in publishing promising research and breakthrough reports that lead to better patients care in life threatening conditions, and bring the reader a quick access to the latest diagnostic and therapeutic approaches in monitoring and management of critically ill patients.

The purpose of this journal is to catalyse, foster, and disseminate an awareness and understanding of the historical  development of ideas in contemporary physics, and more generally, ideas about how Nature works.  The scope explicitly includes:Contributions addressing the history of physics and of physical ideas and concepts, the interplay of physics and mathematics as well as the natural sciences, and the history and philosophy of sciences, together with discussions of experimental ideas and designs - inasmuch as they clearly relate, and preferably add, to the understanding of modern physics.Annotated and/or contextual translations of relevant foreign-language texts.Careful characterisations of old and/or abandoned ideas including past mistakes and false leads, thereby helping working physicists to assess how compelling contemporary ideas may turn out to be in future, i.e. with hindsight.

 The scope explicitly excludes:

The publication of new results at the forefront of physics research. <

*Authoritative contributions on current insurance and risk practice*Global dissemination to both the corporate and academic markets*Highly topical contentFounded by The Geneva Association in 1973, this prestigious journal still leads its field, publishing papers which both improve the scientific knowledge of the insurance industry and stimulate constructive dialogue between the industry and its economic and social partners. This is a key strategic role for insurance in the modern economy.Each issue of The Geneva Papers on Risk and Insurance — Issues and Practice is devoted to a relevant topic of contemporary interest. Major topics include: Bank Assurance, Financial Services (regulation and management), New Perspectives in the Welfare State, Developments in the Health Sector, Technological Issues, etc.Published quarterly, this international journal is essential reading for academics and researchers in insurance and their colleagues in the insurance industry, and other professionals who are searching for a deeper insight into the strategic options for their sector. It bridges the gap between these two groups, highlighting converging zones of interest and helping them to find a common direction.Further information about past issues is available at The Geneva Association web site. .
